Original Lithograph Entitled “Kiasax” [SOLD]

Larry Fodor is known for his commanding images of North American Indians.  He approaches the creative process under the premise of creating works which maintain an active presence.  His obsession with Native American imagery is because the human needs, fears, and desires are more immediate and apparent within prehistoric, primitive and aboriginal cultures.

This image entitled Kiasax appears to be that of a warrior.  He has his bow and arrows in a quiver slung across his back and carries a shield in his right hand.  His buckskin shirt has beaded sleeves and fringes.  Over his left shoulder he wears a wool blanket.

This lithograph was completed in 1982 in an edition of 120 copies.  This is #12/120.  It is mounted on a backing with acid-free hinges in a manner that the entire page is visible.  There is no matboard to cover the edges of the print.

It is numbered in lower left, and titled and signed in lower center.

In the Fall of 1978, the artist established Grey Arrow Press, an independent hand lithography workshop in Santa Barbara, California, to print his own work.  In 1979, Fodor relocated his residence and the print workshop to Tucson, Arizona, to become more familiar with the Southwest.  After three years in Tucson, he moved the workshop back to Santa Barbara.
